Association between parental income during childhood and risk of schizophrenia later in life
JAMA Jan 10, 2020
Hakulinen C, et al. - In this Danish cohort study involving 1,051,033 candidates, researchers explored the connection between parental income level and income mobility during childhood and subsequent schizophrenia risk. Participants in the study were patients who were followed up from their 15th birthday until schizophrenia diagnosis, emigration, death, or December 31, 2016, whichever came first. During 11.6 million person-years of follow-up, 7,544 of the cohort members were diagnosed with schizophrenia. The data presented in this work showed a dose-response association between an increasing amount of time spent in low-income conditions and greater schizophrenia risk. Regardless of parental income at birth, a lower risk of schizophrenia was related to upward income mobility vs downward mobility.
